The blender company could have reduced this risk by shorting the euro and buying the USD when they were at parity.

Many traders enter into a tailspin of emotional trading and losing money after they hit a string of winners. The reason this happens is because they feel confident and euphoric and forget about the real danger of the market and that ANY TRADE CAN LOSE.
